Wolpa Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Voŭpa, Belarus.
The wooden synagogue featured a three-tiered roof rising to fourteen meters and four corner columns supporting an intricate vaulted ceiling.
Established in 1643, the synagogue operated until 1942 when German forces destroyed it during World War II, erasing centuries of religious heritage.
The interior ceiling displayed dark sapphire paint with gold stars, while the walls incorporated Trompe-l'œil techniques to create classical masonry appearances.
The Belarusian Jewish Cultural Heritage Center offers virtual reality tours of the synagogue through Meta headsets and web platforms.
The main prayer hall measured 13 by 12.8 meters, containing a bimah with wooden columns that extended upward to support the ceiling structure.
